Model has been added in this update (Rotation - Models), basically it's quite the same as sponsors\categories, ie each thumb\gallery can have any amount of models linked to it. Also 2 templates were added to display list of models (model_list) and list of model's galleries (model_galleries). Also you have to add some rewrites to beautify
your links

If you link like http://domain.com/models/a/
and template looks like
<models order=alphabet num=1-3 first_letter=GET_MODEL_FIRST_LETTER>
<li><a href="/model/<!--MODEL_SLUG-->/"><!--MODEL_SLUG--> (<!--TOTAL_ITEMS-->)</a></li>
</models>
script will output models starting with "а".
with link http://domain.com/models/b/ - starting with "B" and so on.

And, of course, there some new options in Import to handle models. New options: Models and "Parse description for model name", and new options in pattern: Models и Models (autocreate).

* If you choose models in pattern and models exist - script will link those models to imported gallery. If you import for example http://gallery|desc|model1,model2|http://thumb), and model1 exists, but model2 - doesnt, script will link to model1 only.
* If you select "model (autocreate)" script will also create model2 and link to both models
* Pattern is more important then "Models" option.
* With "Parse description for model name" script tries to find names of existing models in description.

You get SE hits straight to you galleries you can have "related" based on search query. Check this option under Rotation - Tube - Settings. It's good idea to use this option with Sphinx search.

Sphinx settings

up to update 47 sphinx options were located in includes/config.php, what was a bit uncomfortable. Now you can edit those options nder Rotation - Settings. To seek back- compatibility script first checks includes/config.php and, if it doesnt find any sphinx settings there, checks rotation-settings.

Global Custom Vars

There also some useful global replacements for example for global ads. Take a look at Rotation - Tube - Tpl Custom Vars, adding a variable like "my_var1" gives you tag <!--CUSTOM_VAR_MY_VAR1--> in any template.

Navigation

Some useful additions for <navigation tag
* skip_href_deletion=true by default script deletes href from the link to the current page, with this option - doesnt.
* active_link_style=act_pg and link_style=not_act_page styles for current and other pages

As you may know a large part of 'blocked_ref' hits is SE bots. Now we have one one separate list of systems trades - counters. Actually it's a kind of dupe traders but traffic of these traders is not included in total stats.

Let's say we've got a hit from trader A, he clicks on a gallery link and we notice that there's no referer. So we add +1 click to trader A and +1 hit to blocked_ref. But in total stats we still have just 1 click.

Another example: SE bot checks your site (we know this is a SE bot by user agent, you can take a look in Settings - config files - spider_ua). Most part of SE bots do not pass referer, but now we count those hits under system trade 'spiders'

And one more example: we've got a hit from trader A and surfer uses iphone. We count +1 hit to trader A and +1 hit to system trade 'mobile'

Trade by groups

If you have a regular multiniche site and you'd like to trade by groups. First of all you have to add something like &group=... to out links but most of webmasters uses rewrite links like /gallery/cool_gal/index.html and if you need a group here you have to change it to something like /gallery/group/cool_gal/index.html but you'll also have to change rewrites and it's hard for most webmasters.

Usually category urls looks like /category/123/asian/ so script can try to detect a group by referer.

What you have to do to use it

- Create trade groups with the same names as rotation groups. You can do it quickly in Rotation - Groups (Copy To Trade Groups)
- Setup groups for traders
- Rotation - CMS - Tube settings turn on 'Niche trade'
- thats all
